Use Russets for Mashed Potatoes

For the fluffiest mashed potatoes, use only russets and be careful not to overbeat. Cook just until tender; immediately drain and let stand uncovered for 1-2 minutes. While beating, slowly add warm milk. Do not add butter.

A coffee-enhanced rub lends robust flavor to juicy beef tenderloin. I often prepare this recipe for my family around the holidays instead of the traditional turkey or ham. The rich mashed potato stuffing adds an extra-special touch.—Rebecca Anderson, Austin, Texas
